My ethos - combining unconditional love, wisdom and intention

Unconditional love - observing students and their progress through the lens of unconditional love, is very important to me. For them to know that it impossible for them to fall, because I will always meet them exactly where they are, I believe, takes the pressure of any situation and the most rapid progress can be made.

Wisdom - I will be using all the available intelligence to better advance the educational experiences for students.

Intention - I believe setting clear intentions and then acting on the intentions that you have set, is the key to success. I also believe we can have a great time whilst we are doing it!
